That's news you can Xerox.

There's nothing wrong with plagerism -only when a Republican does it.

 
HowlingFrog [TotalFark] 2008-02-29 07:49:53 PM  
So how many newspaper columns plagiarize Fark?

This is what they used to call a "teachable moment" for morans such as Bush_in_2008: an opportunity to learn the difference between "plagarism" (what Obama was accused of) and plagarism (what this guy actually did).

/Not that I'm holding my breath.

HowlingFrog: So how many newspaper columns columnists plagiarize Fark?

You know, I've wondered the same thing. Although one could argue it's a little more noticeable with talk radio and television.

 
Your Faith is Creepy [TotalFark] 2008-02-29 08:02:18 PM  
Cite my source for "teachable moment"? Google it, you'll come up with a ton of "they's".

/Mom was a teacher, so we had edu-speak in the house

OK, liberals. Bush is a lame duck now. You don't have to keep trying to catch him doing something "illegal."

Seeing as how you've failed miserably the past 7 years. I'd say it's time to settle down and let this administration finish its job in peace.

 
Cewley [TotalFark] 2008-02-29 08:14:25 PM  
since the ability, or desire, to read is a requirement to plagiarize, you know this is one crime chimpy will never be guilty of.

 
JerkyMeat 2008-02-29 08:26:45 PM  
There is no end of suck to this administration, and every single bush supporter is a farking piece of shiat.

So if George Bush's speechwriter writes Bush a speech. And Bush gives that speech, Bush is a plagiarist?


BTW, it's spelled "plagiarism".

Bush aide steps down, scandal involved? Are we -sure- this isn't a repeat? Seems there is another one of these every few weeks.

 
Cinaed 2008-02-29 09:03:31 PM  
A guy who is guilty of 20 instances of plagiarism is a 'Good' person?

Oy vay.

What job is that? (and I cannot imagine peace has anything to do with it)

 
skookum 2008-02-29 09:22:11 PM  
And I really shouldn't have to mention that this administration's job is to keep you safe, no matter how many liberals are attempting to undermine this Presidency with inane "reports" of resignations. It's not news, it's liberal bias fluff.

This administration is still rock-solid, and it's been proven again and again that if the election were held tomorrow, Bush would win overwhelmingly and singlehandedly.

So there was no resignation?

I see what you did there. And I approve.

Really? I thought the Presidential Oath of Office swore something else. My mistake.

You're a troll. I always thought that you were just trying to argue your opinion, but this is pure grade-A bologna.

Enter Old-Shtick Skooky...

I didn't even do your last paragraph the honor of a re-post. It was a pretty lame troll, dude...

Have you just plain given up on posting quality trolls??

skookum has always been a GOP pole smoker.

God bless you, Brother skookum. You are truly one of His chosen.

Freecell: Okay, can someone explain this "nothing wrong with plagerism" thing? I've seen it three times now, so I assume it's referring to soemthing...

it's just semi-literacy at work

It's amusing he was plagiarizing not for the NY Times or the Wall St. Journal, but the paper in Fort Wayne, Ind.

"But for Wales?"

 
Loki-L 2008-03-01 01:59:01 PM  
This is all so sad. At this point there must be more instances of "plagiarism" and "plagiarize" spelled incorrectly than correctly in this thread and most posters in addition to not knowing how the word is spelled also don't seem to be able to give a definition for it, but at least everyone here seems to be loyal to their party and ideology and that is what seems to be important.
